Chap 58

Sarah

Sarah was taping her foot nervously on the floor and kept looking at the time. Why theo is not back?. She try to control her nervousness and weird feeling going inside her. Apparently, Lisa falls down from stairs while she was on her mobile phone

When she heard Lisa loud scream she was terrified for life. She runs to see and saw Lisa lying on the floor, holding her stomach and was bleeding so bad, Sarah cringed with the image.

She remembers her pregnancy time how hers and Ava life was in danger when she was taken to the hospital how much she was bleeding all over ....how she almost died. And now looking at Lisa she remembers her time she rushes to her and calls the butler.

Sarah try to calm her as Lisa was hysterically crying 'oh god my baby..my son'

Sarah eyes shine with tears too because like Lisa she also don't have good feeling about this...and the amount of blood was coming out ...it really scared her...'sshh Lisa ...your son is fine...just breath...you are ok...this is just fine' but Sarah know nothing is fine but she has to lie in order to calm Lisa

Till the time Theo and tom came and shouted to bring the car in the doorway...they manage to take Lisa in the car

Theo looked at her 'I'm also going, plz just check Ava and Olivia ..make sure they are fine'

Sarah nodes 'i will, I will' she replied in a stunned voice

This was almost two hours ago and still no news came...she was worried sick...even knowing how tom and Lisa has treated her in the past and recent spat between her and Lisa...she still pray from her heart that Lisa and her child are ok....she don't want any parent to go through the loss of any child.

Then she heard the door open...she saw tired looking Theo enter the bedroom...he looked at her with sadness and sit down on the bed with a sigh.

Sarah walked to him and sits beside him 'Theo...(he was still looking down) Theo ....how is Lisa'

Theo shook his head 'she is....she is still unconscious ...doctor said she lost a lot of blood....so she under shock....she is under observation'

Sarah gasped in shocked 'what...what about the baby?' she knew what answer he will give

Theo close his eyes 'The baby....he can't survive'

Sarah put her hand on her mouth 'oh my god'

Theo continue ' the doctor said it was difficult for them to saved the child....since Lisa was almost six month pregnant and due to loss of blood..(theo pinched his nose) they almost lost Lisa at one point but luckily she survived but still unconscious'

Sarah feel so bad and sad by this news...she knew how Lisa and Tom were happy for this baby...and now 'Hows tom?' she shakily asked

Theo looked her 'not good, he is quite shaken by the news. He was in a bad shape. I never saw him crying like that but the most devasting news they told us totally broke Tom and Lisa. The doctor says Lisa might not get pregnant again' theo said with deep emotions

Sarah took a step back and makes a shocked sound 'Oh god....like never, Lisa always wanted more kids especially a boy'

Theo head was down 'there is a slight ten percent chance but they were not optimistic'

Sarah who was good by heart can't see him like that ...hold his hand and comfort him 'im so sorry for the loss... I can't even imagine...how it's for them'

Theo squeezed her hand and takes that hand to his heart 'you know when we got this news what tom has said to me? he said that this is the time for him and Lisa to pay for all the mistreatment they have done to you and it clicks me this is what is happening, we hurt your innocent soul and body and now we are getting payback like this by God. I remember your words when you said to me god will take your revenge on us'

Sarah shook her head 'but I never ever said anything bad for that poor child and now I never wanted anyone of us to get hurt... I never said anything

Theo softly looked her ' I know baby, that makes us all so guilty more...because you never said anything but this is so true this is karma'

Sarah was quite and don't know what to say on this then she said 'all I want now Lisa get better....'

Theo nodes 'yeah me too'

(After one week)

Sarah was getting ready for the office that she heard a knock 'come in' she yelled a she was looking for her phone

Then she heard someone cough...she turned it was Tom looking down in a respectful manner 'hi Sarah. I hope I don't catch you on wrong time'

Sarah was little nervous around him...what he is doing here. She looked at washroom door where theo was taking a shower...wish he came back soon

Sarah composed said 'no..i was just looking for my mobile...(then she saw how tom looks so tired and sad) so how are you' she awkwardly asked

Tom tries to give her a smile 'im good...actually I wanted to thank you, for taking care of Olivia for a week when we were in the hospital, she was a little depressed when she can't find her mom and dad but she told me you were there every-night with her and took care of her very good. I was so grateful'

Sarah put her side hair behind her ears and replied 'no need for that for me she is just like my Ava and you guys would have done the same'

Tom flinched and eyes were filled with tears 'no we didn't do the same with your daughter when you were gone....actually we ignore everything and try to act normal although we know what Ava was going through for a year...but even knowing everything you still treated my daughter with so much love and care' he looks down in deep regret

Sarah heart always constructs in a negative way, when she get know about things that Ava is gone through behind her back.

Sarah looked straight into his eyes 'because I'm not like you guys nor I will never encourage this kind of attitude and neither I will teach any of the kids here to be revengeful like I told you Olivia is just like my daughter so I did any mother would have done'

Tom sighs and nodes 'i know ... I have a request for you will you please come with me. Lisa wants to meet you...you know she just got discharged and she is asking for you...plz meet her' Tom made a begging sound

Sarah was conflicted what to do....what Lisa really wants...is she going to blame her for this miscarriage....she was about to say no then she looked into tom eyes and realized there something else....she hopes she is not making a stupid decision ...'ok '

Tom looked relief 'thank you so much, Sarah... I hope you are not late for the office?'

Sarah walks with him 'no I still got time..'

When they reached tom room...Sarah saw Lisa laying on the bed looking so fragile and weak...with dark circles under her eyes and pale skin...she looks sick...Sarah never in her life recall seeing Lisa in such appearance... Lisa who look always so well put and confident with beautiful clothes and flawless skin looks now so lifeless...Sarah feel so sad for her

Lisa looked at Sarah who looks complete opposite Lisa, she timidly smiles and raises her hand ...Sarah looked confused what to do but she holds Lisa's hand and sits down in one of the armchairs 'hello lisa...how are you feeling today?' sarah gently asked

Lisa eyes filled with tears but she gives a smile ' i don't know what I feel ...but mostly tired...by the way you look good' Lisa absently said

Sarah eyes were filled with pity. Lisa might not be good to her but nowhere Sarah found Lisa condition satisfying in her eyes.

Sarah smiled 'thank you lisa....why don't you rest and get better ...everything will be ok soon' she tries to comfort her

Lisa shook her head 'no I just want to talk to you...say sorry to you...that how bad I was to you...how I treated you....and I'm not talking about recently I'm talking about over the years' Lisa cried

Sarah was little taken by surprised 'Lisa don't think on this too much right now...just relax and get better'

But Lisa who was horribly crying 'no ..no..no this is the time I realized how I was also involved in making your life miserable...everything was in front of me and I didn't do anything...you were so kind and nice to me...so helpful all time...but what I did ? I treated you like my slave..let you do all my work, scolded you, never stop mom harsh treatment towards you...always make you feel inferior....and now recently I also said mean stuff to you..'Lisa was horribly crying.Tom hold her and cry with her silently

Lisa continues 'and now look i have to pay for it...i lost my child because of my sin and might not get pregnant again....' Tom cut Lisa 'no baby its not only yours but also because of my sin too....Sarah, we can't explain how sorry we are....more than I'm the one who treated you so bad... I insulted you time to time...somehow always make theo angry on you...and I never stop him.....and now we lost our son...(he shake his head in regret) we were trying to look for happiness when we have already given so many sorrows and hurt to you'

Sarah close her eyes...tears were falling down ...she never knew this moment will come in her life when tom and Lisa will be regretful..they are right they hurt her so badly...she looked how broken they both looked to her....'Please just drop this topic...i won't say I will forget what you guys did but I will not try to bring it up again because as much it is hurting you guys to accept it ..it is as much difficult for me to listen it all over again...'

Lisa hold both of her hand in praying manner 'but please ...please forgive me...forgive us (she looked at tom) ...your forgiveness will make me to be ok otherwise the guilt i have for not only hurting you but also realizing it so late will kill me.....im so sorry ...so sorry (Lisa was hysterically crying) the moment i was told my son was no more you know what thought came into my mind...it was yours...i was immediately taken back to those moments where you were countless time treated worse by me...where Ava was treated worse by everyone under my observation...and when you almost died giving birth to Ava and no was there for you......those memories were like slap in my face'

Lisa pull her shirt over her stomach and Sarah winced at the sight what she saw...there was deep rugged looking cut ...Lisa continues 'We saw a few weeks ago my son was healthy and fine...but after my accident they have to do my c-section...this scar will remind me always what i lost...what I can have but due to my ignorance and evil personality I lost my child' Tom looks away and put a hand on his hair

Sarah who was now properly crying and drop Lisa shirt down and softly said 'shh lisa....stop crying you will get ill....i just can't even imagine how hard it will be for you but one day this scar will remind you that what a beautiful son you have given birth to but he was too pure and good for this world so he has been gone to a good place where he knows his mom and dad loves him the most and one day he might come back as your another baby form.

I trust God he will give you more kids in the future don't lose hope and Lisa I did forgive you so you tom..i forgive you both, your loss is much greater to make me not forgive you guys and not move on..so please stop crying'

Lisa can't believe what she is hearing.She hugged Sarah and repeatedly said 'im sorry ..your god angel..'

Theo

He can feel the tension in the car...he knew Sarah and Lisa had talked but he doesn't have the courage to talk about it...but he is dying to know what's really going in Sarah's head....when tom told him Sarah forgive them it gives him a ray of hope maybe she can forgive him too but then his sins and treatment towards her were way harsher and cruel then anyone in the house....it will be a miracle she forgive him...hell he still can't forgive himself

Theo can't stand the silence so he spoke 'you look tense...what are you thinking?' Theo took a turn and looks at her

Sarah was looking aimlessly at the car window and speaks without looking at him 'nothing'

Theo replied 'but you have been little off after meeting lisa...did she says something?'

Sarah smiles sadly 'yeah she was asking for my forgiveness...she and tom thinks she lost the baby because of their treatment towards me (Sarah looks up) but honestly speaking I never wanted that for them....yes there was a time when I hate each of them a lot but this loss they have to endure was never in my thinking.....'

Theo was holding his breath 'so do you forgive them?'

Sarah nodes quietly

Theo can't control himself 'but why?'

Sarah sighs 'I don't want to forgive anyone of you ....(she looked at him) never wanted to forgive you guys but today looking at Lisa condition I was shocked and so scared. The lisa who I use to know was confident, neat and tidy but she was so in bad shape and tom who always look above me and insulted me whenever the chance he got was now begging me, This all made me realize that I never enjoy such kind on hold... I can't get happy on someone misery and sadness.....(Sarah snips) many will think I'm weak and stupid to forgive them but then i realize it's me .. I cant...i just can't change myself completely. I'm no god...even he can forgive so much then why can't I....it made me realize what difference will be between me and those people who live to take revenge and at the end destroy so many life...so yes i did forgive them but not forget those things is still difficult' Sarah said with such calm that made theo shiver with her such attitude

Theo was near his office and reach the parking area ...after dropping the car...sarah was getting out but theo caught her arm...'will you ever forgive me? i know its lot to ask....but can you forgive me? theo eyes were begging her and his voice was little shaken by the emotions he was holding

Sarah looked him in the eyes intently 'do you want me to forgive you theo?'

Theo winced ....hell no he never wanted to be forgiven ...he just wants to make Sarah happy but he also knows that will only happen when Sarah forgives him

Thoe look down as he don't have such answer...sarah then continue 'some things are hard to forgive and forget ..especially those things that have scars not on your body only but also in your soul......so you can't forgive and forget such things' Sarah said with such conviction That theo look in shame

Fuck ...he really destroys everything.

Sarah

She was doing some research on her project when she heard the door open ...'hi beautiful' jim smirks

Sarah blushed and shake her head 'Jim how many time you use this line on women?'

Jim laughed 'ouch it hurts... I was really honest...but FYI this works all the time ' he winked and Sarah laughed and points at the chair

'please sit and tell me what do I owe the pleasure of your visit'

Jim drag his hand on his blonde hair 'I got a news for you and that news will be disclosed if you go with me for a cup of coffee'

Sarah dropped the pen she was holding 'what?' she asked in shocked...is he asking her out?

Jim smiled and move forward 'coffee....why you so shocked'

Sarah feels her skin hot ...she can't go out.....no....what if theo know he will not only let her come to the office again but also Jim job will be also in great danger.

She awkwardly replied 'hmm no..im busy and I don't have time

Sarah stops her bubbling when Jim laughs 'oh god look it your face...I'm kidding....'

Sarah took a relief breath and throw the pen towards him 'Jim ...seriously'

Jim laughs again that made Sarah join him...'ok stop it...just tell me what the news' is

Jim sober his expression 'oh yes the great news...your idea regarding the new advertisement has been greatly liked by everyone...so by the next month when you open your television screen you will see your idea coming to live' Jim dramatically replied

Sarah's mouth was opened in shocked...her idea had been approved...oh my her first ever project is approved.

Sarah felt tears in her eyes...she can do it...Mr. grey was right ..she can do this thing.

Jim looked at the different emotions running in Sarah's face and he was amazed at how beautiful and innocent she looks ...'I can't believe it...it's such a big thing' Sarah talk absently

Jim looked confused and then smile 'yeah it is....so big congratulations and shoot now I have to go ...'

Sarah also stand; thank you so much...if you haven't helped me '

Jim raised his hand 'no need babe. it's all your doing and about the coffee thing ... I would really like to take you one day but not now' Sarah was left confused by his statement and Jim left her there like that.

Theo

'Come in ' Theo was talking with the assistance Cami when he saw Sarah emerges

She passes a look to them and stops in midway 'am I disturbing something'

Theo found her tone to be little strange like she is angry... then he saw cami front was too exposed for his liking and she was totally falling on him...he took step back....this cami woman is a good assistance but she does give him some seductive vibes that he is trying to ignore.

Theo close the file 'ok cami I will see them later....you may go now'

Cami passed an annoying look to Sarah and then walks away

Sarah said 'why you call me here. I thought it was off time so I should go directly to the parking area'

Theo nodes 'please sit down and yes its off time but I need to send some emails...it will hardly take few minutes but I don't want you to wait for me in the parking lot'

Sarah sat down and said slowly 'if I got my car then it was not a problem'

Theo heard that and pass a look to her ..'yes about the car..i didn't forget that...i have already ordered a car for you it will be delivered in few days' Theo shakes his head

Sarah looks puzzled 'but you have already so many cars. Can I use one of those? im not looking for something fancy and expensive car. I need a car with four tiers that's it' Sarah huff

Theo laugh at that 'believe me it's a car with four wheels and it's a family car much better than my cars which are all sports car or non-family oriented car'

Sarah nibbled her lips and theo sucked in awed...Sarah notice how he is looking at her and she nervously said 'so when we will go?....in the evening I think we have a session with Becca' Sarah said in a tense voice

Theo nodes 'I'm almost done ...and yes we will go directly there' like her Theo was also nervous about today visit.

Theo changes the topic 'I talk to your manager ...he told me about your idea...Sarah, I must tell you its brilliant...the whole department was very happy and excited by your idea....and your dedication and work is also exceptional' he said proudly to her

Sarah blushed which Theo find too cute and sensual 'thank you..It was a surprise too...when Jim told me that I was stunned

Theo thought in vain Jim? Who jim..'jim....who he is?' theo asked in a boss voice

Sarah's face looks like she made a mistake by taking Jim name. She awkwardly said 'he is actually, he is my team member. He trains me in the first two weeks...'

Theo doesn't know why he felt jealous when Sarah took that Jim guy name...but shake that feeling off ...he smiled 'good...ok I'm done with work..now shall we go?'

Sarah gulped and nodes.
